Abstract: An exercise and scratching device for felines comprising a beam and a plurality of vertical support members. The beam is supported by the vertical members in a substantially horizontal orientation and at such a height from the supporting surface that an average-sized housecat can lie on its back beneath the beam, grasp the beam with its feet or claws, and pull itself along on its back for the full length of the beam. Embodiments present either the beam or a beam wrapping as a surface on which cats can sharpen their claws. Other embodiments add feet, and/or a neck and head to enhance the resemblance of the device to an animal.
